The Portuguese Association of Brasília received on August 29 a delegation of council members from the Brazil Section of the Council of Portuguese Communities. The visit was part of the official programming of the body's annual meeting, held in Brasília between August 27 and 29.

The delegation was received by the Vice President of the Association, Ciro Freitas, and was also attended by representatives of the Women's Nucleus of the Portuguese Association, created in the second half of 2026, as well as members of the Brazil-Portugal Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest.

During the visit, the council members learned about the Association's structure, exchanged experiences about the challenges of the Portuguese and Lusodescendant community, and ended the programming with a fellowship lunch.

According to Ciro Freitas, the Portuguesa plays an important role in Brasília due to its structure and strategic location, close to populous administrative regions of the Federal District. President Sandro Pimentel highlighted that encounters like this strengthen the institution and that the intention is to keep the Association increasingly present and connected with the community and with Portugal.

The last neighborhood cinema on the Cascais Line closed. The municipality is buying it

The last neighborhood cinema on the Cascais Line, the Atlântida Cine in Carcavelos, closed in 2024 and the Cascais Municipal Council is buying it for 600 thousand euros. The municipality approved the acquisition unanimously in June, guaranteeing that the space will continue to function as a cinema, although it may host other cultural uses when not in programming. However, the independent film distributor Cinetoscópio and a community of fans expressed concerns that the intention would be to transform the space into a multipurpose auditorium, which would mean the end of the cinema as it existed. Cinetoscópio had presented a proposal of 200 thousand euros to operate the cinema without public investment, but the council opted for the acquisition. Founded in 1963 by Fausto Semedo, the Atlântida was for decades a reference point for independent cinema in the area, resisting the closure of other venues on the Cascais Line.
